On Wednesday, the U.S. embassy in Buenos Aires received a bomb threat. That followed less than a day after angry crowds gathered outside the U.S. embassies in Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, and Yemen, screaming “Allahu akbar” and expressing rage over the bombing of a Gaza hospital by Israel that turned out to be the bombing of a hospital by Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Now that America is back and the adults are firmly in charge and all that, is another Benghazi-style storming of an American embassy and massacre of American personnel in the offing? It could happen all too easily. After all, what would Old Joe Biden’s woke military or security forces do in the face of a genuine challenge?
Fox News reported Tuesday that “hundreds of protesters” assembled in front of the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, enraged over reports that turned out to be false that Israel had bombed the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza and killed at least five hundred people. Hours after the establishment media had carried the news of Israel’s alleged atrocity around the world, drawing condemnation from such wise heads as Justin Trudeau and Rashida Tlaib, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced that Israel had not hit the hospital at all. The jihadis themselves had done so: “An analysis of IDF operational systems indicates that a barrage of rockets was fired by terrorists in Gaza, passing in close proximity to the al-Ahli [Baptist] hospital in Gaza at the time it was hit. Intelligence from multiple sources we have in our hands indicates that Islamic Jihad is responsible for the failed rocket launch which hit the hospital in Gaza.”
The IDF’s explanation was greeted with a skepticism that the establishment media had never displayed toward the initial claim that Israel had bombed the hospital, but Hamas operatives had been caught talking about how the hospital (actually, just its parking lot) had been hit by a stray Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket.
All that, however, came out after the embassies were menaced on Tuesday night, although the bomb threat in Buenos Aires on Wednesday showed that the facts didn’t matter: once a thoroughly propagandized population is stirred up, it’s virtually impossible to stop it from swinging into action. The crowd grew so unruly in Beirut, reported Fox, that “tear gas was deployed near the embassy.” This was necessary because “protesters threw rocks and Molotov cocktails at demonstrations, which caused a fire” near the embassy.
Meanwhile, in Kurecik, Turkey, an enraged mob tried to storm the U.S. military base. The crowds eventually dispersed this time, but if there is another false flag claim of an Israeli atrocity, and there certainly will be, the mobs are unlikely to be placated by Old Joe Biden’s gift of $100 million to Gaza, money which will almost certainly go for the jihad against Israel. Will our woke, propagandized, drag queen-filled military be able to stop enflamed protesters from breaking into one of our embassies and torturing and killing the people inside, as they did in Benghazi, Libya, on Hillary Clinton’s watch in 2012?
At this point, it’s hard to know what would happen in such an event. Would the security detail at an embassy under attack be too busy doing its nails and trying on new skirts to stop any rioters? Or after being filled with Marxist propaganda by the military brass, would it hate America so much that it would fling the embassy’s doors open wide to the demonstrators and help them ransack the place?
This is the absurd state of affairs at which we have arrived as OId Joe Biden nears the completion of the third year of his Potemkin presidency. And so the question must be asked yet again: is the Biden regime stupid, or evil? (Or is it both?)
Old Joe and his henchmen are busy these days issuing assurances and threats based on the assumption of an American military might that could turn out to be as phantasmagoric as Biden’s presidency itself. If you believe Old Joe is really the man in charge, you may believe that our embassies are safe and impregnable, and that no matter how massive and enraged the angry crowds outside get, the embassy personnel can sleep soundly. That, unfortunately, is an assumption out of the old America, the one to which the Biden regime has been putting the hatchet for nearly three years now.
When war breaks out in a serious way I expect I expect a number of US Embassies to be attacked and maybe overrun
I’m glad I don’t work in an Embassy. Not that I ever would. I’d rather smoke a turd in Hell.
Although the one in Singapore was quite nice when I visited and its staff quite helpful. They gave me new Passport papers right there and then because mine was overfilled with visa stamps. My passport became so fat I couldn’t close it but who gives a shit. At least I was able to travel.
And when an embassy guy saw me, he asked if I were an American, and when I said yes, he had me come to the front of the line/Queue.
I think it’s named the Bill Clinton Embassy though, which sucks.
I think it’s named after Billdo Clinton though, which is too bad.
You don’t strike me as a well travelled person , but if you are then well done
You might want to reconsider your pre-assumptions.
I’ve been around. I even used to live overseas. for years.
Yes, and who wears masks on their ugly faces except cowardly weaklings? And black masks? Not even the Nazis did that.
Hamas. Total pussies. Just like leftists.
Just like all the woke wankers who joined the convid riots.
same as the feral antifa misfits. I’m sure the masks come off when they chow down on hot pockets and stare at internet porn in their mommas’ basements
It’ pronounced ham-ass.
Alternatively, it’s spelled HaMosque.
as in the northern end of a pig heading toward the south?
That’s a GREAT image…..and SO kosher. Perfect in many ways!
I like it
It’ll be a good time to cut all ties with countries who allow it to happen.
“Would the security detail at an embassy under attack be too busy doing its nails and trying on new skirts to stop any rioters?”
That bought a smile to my face.
In my experience, the actual military fighters would pulverise the drag queens unless the drag queens fought alongside them.
You can almost hear a modified (dist-) Hillary shriek of, “At THAT point, what difference WILL it make!!!”
And when these attacks and battles occur, where will our ”leaders” look for the defense of their fiefdom?
We will be back to the TEAM USA, WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER bullshit.
They ship our jobs overseas, crap on our police and boarder security, start inflation that kills the dollar at the supermarket and gasoline station, screw over our medical care and retirement savings, take an absolute s–t on our God and Founding Fathers, force a f–up killer vaccine the military and civilian population, put queers into our kids schools, and Im leaving out a ton of other s–t.
We are all in this together my azz. Let them fight the war they start.
The whole current Middle East mess can be laid at the feet of Jimmy Carter!
When the Iranians provoke the US with an ACT OF WAR – taking over our embassy
Carter did NOTHING except embolden them.
Reagan freed them quickly.
That situation allowed the insane Islam to spread throughout the region.
Today the same weak “leadership” is empowering barbaric cowards and leading us
to more decades of unrest and war.
We MUST get rid of Biden and put a STRONG leader in the White House
The present situation is all on Obama, a Jihadist and marxist revolutionary!!! An America and Israel hater of the nth degree!!!!
Can we even survive until late 2024? And even if the Democrats lose the election, we’ll have to wait until January 2025 to begin rebuilding our country – a Herculean task. Again – can we survive?
We can’t even attempt impeachment, as we don’t have a House Speaker.
We haven’t been this imperiled since Khruschev installed missiles with nuclear warheads in Cuba sixty years ago.
the U.S. hostages in Iran in ’79 to ’80 were freed the FIRST day that Reagan took office.
Because they knew he’d beat the unholy dogshit outta them if they didn’t.
Leftists, who chronically project their own malevolence, spun the “October surprise” bullshit story to distort the truth. Leftist’s first act is always to rewrite history.
Attacks on American embassies in the Middle East will likely be cheered by the woke Leftist hordes in America. This is exactly what Obama dreamed of: Americans shouting “Intifada, Intifada…”
Hmmmmmm I don’t know about YOU all here, but THAT sounds an awful lot like “giving aid and comfort to the enemy”.
Anyone else think so? If so we all know the prescribed consequences of that action.
Wonder if they’ll be looking for volunteers for the ensuing firing squads.
Actually the hospital wasn’t hit at all, the short round missile fell in the parking creating a small crater. A reporter stood in the parking lot and you could see the hospital in the background unscathed. So there were no 500 casualties either, just barbarian propaganda.
Because you have no heart because you have no soul. Because at the end of day all you have is endless pragmatism
Fight if you want to fight otherwise don’t fight.
The idea that we’re scared of them.
As if all you retards don;t understand we already risked all our lives.
“retards”? Name some. Right now. NO ONE I know.
And South Africa’s ruling ANC want to throw the Israeli embassy out of the country because they are against terrorists!
In decades of travel overseas, the embassies and missions I have visited have been all over the map in terms of security measures, actual resilience if attacked, and even the discipline of the Marine detachments on assignment. State has been hardening facilities abroad since 2001 with “increased vigor,” but the laziness and seeming corruption of the contractor relationships and the social capture of the installation personnel by host countries makes me skeptical that many of the facilities would survive a for-real assault. Equating an embassy to the mess in Benghazi, however, is misguided. Most actual embassies have better defenses than the functional equivalent of a private house in a walled yard with some alarms and fire protection. A consulate engaged in arms dealing in a land destabilized by the US government and unprotected after requesting help from Foggy Bottom has a bright red target painted on it.
Who is in charge? O?
Mr Spencer excellent as always.
I want to quibble with small point: Can Biden Administration be both evil and stupid?
First we take as a given that it is evil. The question is if it is also stupid.
If the Biden Admin were stupid, then they would stupidly do things that are not evil. You know by mistake – stupid organizations make lots of mistakes.
Since the Biden Admin has no track record whatever of conduct that is not evil, it can not be both evil and stupid.
Second let’s take it as a given that it is not evil. The question is if it is also stupid.
Were the Biden Admin not evil and stupid we would see them do a mix of things that are evil and and not evil.
Since Biden’s actions are all 100% evil we can only conclude that it is Evil and Not Stupid.
